She was, she was a very good liar. I will say that.
It turned out it was, you know, it's either me or them. Like, we're not seeing eye to eye. And I had these babies right there. And I'm like, I told my parents, I'm like, it's not what y'all think, you know, and I took her side. Exactly what you just said, you know, it's one of those where you look back and you're like, man.
If I was somebody else listening to my own story, I'd be like slapping myself up beside the head like, what in the world were you thinking, man? You know, but they're so good at manipulating you and lying to you. I look back and I'm like, because once this all first came out, I'm going to fast forward for a second. When it all first came out, it was real hard. I took it really hard.
Or once everything came out about what she had done overall, because I was like, I felt like I didn't protect my kids. And how could I stick around for through all this? And what kind of dad was I or man was I? And so looking back, yes, it's like through everything. So we'll go back to the leukemia. So she says she has leukemia and then it comes out.
She don't, you know, start asking for paperwork and stuff. And she's like, I'm waiting on an email. And I kept on and I kept on and I'm like, OK, you know, something's not adding up. And then finally it came out that she didn't.
She said that. She was just in a really dark place and we weren't doing good. And she just, something was off with her, you know, health wise. And she just, it wasn't the right decision. She knows that, but she wishes she could change it, but she couldn't. So I ended up, I went and filed for divorce.
Yeah.
Well, that's where I really start to judge myself because... Then I'm trying to we're still living in the same house at the time. I'm trying to save up money to get my own place. She says she's going to counseling, shows me this counselor she's going to and everything. You know, she wishes she could take it back, but she couldn't. And she's trying to work on herself.
And then the oldest starts getting, you know, starts having more seizure stuff. And everything. And I just, I got roped back in. I stuck around. I look back now and I know, I know why I did it. I did it for the kids. I didn't do it for her. I did it for the kids. But I was still in such a shaded place that in me nowadays, I would have been a hundred miles down the road.
I don't care if I had a place to live or not. I would have been living in my vehicle. Like I said, when we first met, I was, you know, looking back, I was really depressed. I never got out of that because of everything we had went through.
Then the gun, then the you know, we're like, yeah, three and a half years in and four years in somewhere along those lines. And we're on thin ice. I still have the paperwork turned into the court. I ended up pulling it out. And I tell her, like, hey, you've really got to show me that you're going to change.
Like, I don't want to have another set of my kids growing up in a broken family, but I can't stick around. You do anything like this again, I can promise you I'm high-telling. Like, this is your last saving grace. And deep down inside, I'm just doing it for the kids. The love, I felt... this is me being true and honest. Now it's the love.
It was already gone, but I, growing up always want, I grew up in a broken family and I was like, I don't, you know, already have one kid with a broken family. I don't want my others. If, if there's any chance that she can turn her life around, you know, people make me, we're, we're all human. We all make mistakes. I know that, but it was like, that was a pretty big mistake, you know?
Um, but I'm like, Hey, this is your final shot. So, um, I went back and then the youngest starts getting sicker. And November 2021, I should be, that's when the youngest went into the hospital the first time for seizure-like symptoms. And that's where everything started falling into place. of things happening.
She started, you know, becoming a kid over the next couple months after that, that I didn't recognize. It was, that's my daughter, but she's completely different now.
Sleeping all the time. just less vocal just it's hard to even explain it's as a parent when you see your kid like and something's off you can tell and I knew something was off in it but it was like and that's where by saying like that like it was my kid but it wasn't like it was off like she wasn't her normal self and it just kept getting further and further from her normal self
And so she was going back and forth to the hospital and the ER.
She was having these symptoms. They couldn't figure it out, but they wanted her to start. She would send, you know, she'd be like, hey, she's having seizures. I'm going to take her to ER. I need you to come home and stay with the kids. So I'd leave work, come home, and first couple times they didn't know.
So they started telling her, hey, when you witness these episodes, please record it and send it to us or bring it into her next doctor's appointment so we can view it.
Mm-hmm. So they had done a, I want to say, I can't remember if it was a 24 or 48 hour at the hospital EEG. She told me they caught a few little ones, but it wasn't enough for them to find, you know, go off of anything.
